“…The imaging method which is most preferred in adnexal masses is pelvic ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography may distinguish straw color fluid from blood and pus, differentiate benign lesions from malignant and help to identify anatomical relationships with other structures [ 18 ]. Many differentials should be considered in ovarian cysts like paraovarian cyst, obstruction of fallopian tube, inclusion cyst of peritoneum and appendiceal mucocele.…”

Lymphangioma are benign, slow-growing and rare lymphatic tumors, which may emerge at any location in the body with ovary being a very rare location. Axillary region and neck are the most common sites, while retroperitoneum and mesentery account for <1%. We present a case of a young female of 33 years who had symptomatic pelvic mass and was presented with a complaint of lower abdominal pain of six-month duration and weight loss. Investigation revealed an oval-shaped complex cystic density lesion in the right adnexal region, which was likely neoplastic. Elective laparotomy with right ovarian cystectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed ovarian lymphangioma.

“…Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may add important preoperative information about anatomical relationships with other structures, differentiate benign tumors from malignant tumors, and chylous fluid from blood and pus. 6,9 Laparotomy or laparoscopy are both acceptable routes of surgery for treatment. There are several reports in the literature of successful open resection of intraabdominal lymphangiomas, but only a few such reports describing the laparoscopic treatment of an ovarian lymphangioma.…”

Background: Lymphangiomas are rare, usually benign tumors of the lymphatic system. Lymphangiomas may arise in any part of the body. Lymphangioma of the ovary is very rare. Lymphangiomas are usually slow growing, and patients remain asymptomatic for a long time, with the tumor being identified incidentally during histopathological examination after excision. It is advisable to excise the lesion with microscopically clear margins. Frequently, diagnosis becomes difficult because it can be confused with a malignant ovarian mass, especially in postmenopausal woman. Case: A 72-year-old postmenopausal woman had a symptomatic pelvic mass. Imaging studies demonstrated a complex right ovarian cyst. A laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed successfully. Conclusions: Cystic lymphangiomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of an ovarian cystic mass, and laparoscopic excision may be the method of treatment. ( J GYNECOL SURG 28:436)
